DESCRIPTION
-----------
- tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP proxy daemon released under the
- GNU General Public Licence (GPL). tinyproxy is very useful in a small
- network setting, where a larger proxy like Squid would either be too
- resource intensive, or a security risk. One of the key features of
- tinyproxy is the buffering connection concept. In effect, tinyproxy
- will buffer a high speed response from a server, and then relay it to
- a client at the highest speed the client will accept. This feature
- greatly reduces the problems with sluggishness on the Internet. If you
- are sharing an Internet connection with a small network, and you only
- want to allow HTTP requests to be allowed, then tinyproxy is a great
- tool for the network administrator.
